the late with Richard |
The student, Angela Dapi, 21, a third year Fashion and
Design student, was found dead at a local hotel while her suspected killer
boyfriend Richard Nenhowe was also lying bleeding after attempting to kill
himself.
The accused is admitted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals
under police guard where he is not able to speak. Angela was buried on Saturday
at Paradise cemetery in Marondera.
The deceased’s father Ido Dapi said a young life had been
lost unnecessarily and they were devastated as a family.
“We are waiting for investigations to reveal what actually
transpired.” He added: “(There is) So
much abuse going on in these young relationships; they don’t speak. Angie is
gone but let her be the last girl to go through such an ordeal.
“Let this be an example and save the next girl,” Dapi said.
A close friend to the deceased who spoke on condition of anonymity said Nenhowe
was always abusive.
“I remembered tiri ma 1.1 (First Year, First Semester) she
used to complain that he was abusive. He would beat her because of his
insecurities.
“At some point she wanted to leave him and she started
seeing one of our classmates during vacation and as soon as we opened they
broke up that was 1.2 (First Year, Second Semester).
“I tried to ask her but she just gave silly comments but I
heard from one of our classmates that they broke up because she was trying to
keep him safe,” the classmate said.
The classmate said it was now making sense why Angie wanted
to leave the abusive relationship.
“Angie wanted to leave this guy a long time ago but she was
trapped; it’s not making any sense. I feel like I failed her. I could have paid
more attention and reported him right away but instead we comforted her,” she
said.
A close source to the mishap said: “Angela and her
boyfriend broke up a month ago because Nenhowe had cheated on her and he
refused to accept being dumped.
“He travelled from a mine in Zvishavane where he worked to
Harare on Sunday to try and fix their relationship that’s when they met at
Elizabeth Hotel and he then choked her when she entered the hotel.
“Nenhowe then sent a text to his friend stating that he had
killed his girlfriend and when the police found out Nenhowe was bleeding
profusely after he attempted to kill himself.”
